    Hey Kat,

    So the bootcamp is just about the art of animation (making things move in a believable way).  But there is some advice on that in the next animation course (workflow and body mechanics)

    But to answer your question, you would break it all into seperate files.

    The Characters and sets would live in seperate files, and you would create a new file for each shot and link everything into that shot.

    That way any changes you make are propagated to all the files and you don’t have to repeat the same fix over and over.

    You can start with one layout animation file, where all the shots in the same “set” are blocked out.

    Then use that as a template to set up the real animation files.  Creating the layout first will help you solve a lot of the problems at the basic level before things get too complicated.

    Hope that helps.
